UPDATE April 2008:

After graduation I attended Parsons Junior College on a football scholarship.  Roger Zettl was my roommate.  We must have been a hard act to follow because they eliminated the football program after our first year.   The next year I attended Pittsburg State College working as an ambulance driver at night.  I transferred to Washburn University in Topeka for my 3^rd year of college and graduated in 1968 with a Bachelor of Science in Medical Technology.  I began my career working in hospital labs in Topeka.

 My career took me back to Parsons, Kansas to work in the hospital lab from 1970 to 1975.  Judy and I then made the decision to move to Colorado and I began a new career in laboratory equipment sales.  I’ve been a sales rep for almost 30 years.  I’ve been fortunate to travel to all 50 states and enjoy a rewarding career and, of course, live in the beautiful Rocky Mountains!  I am currently employed as an Systems Integration Specialist with HoribaABX.  In essence that means labs buy hematology and chemistry equipment and I go in and train the staff.  There is lots of travel, nearly every week, but I am enjoying it and see all the US and Puerto Rico.   

In 1966 Judy Murphy, class of 1965, and I were married.  We just celebrated our 41st year of marriage and it gets better every year.  Judy decided to stop working after 16 years at the same job and stepped away from the education political arena.   She now looks for walls to paint, does all the yard work and keeps me organized in my office. We have gotten very interested in spending time in Puerto Rico and plan to explore that option after retirement.  We look forward to traveling with retirement looming on the horizon.

 We have 4 grown children and 6 grandchildren. We are now empty nesters, but during the “full house” years I coached my boys in recreational and competitive soccer, attended many wrestling matches and tournaments, as well as, lots of dance recitals.

 Greg  lives in Denver.  He attended the University of Colorado and University of Northern Colorado.  Greg is a sales rep for a restaurant supply company, Restaurant Sources in Denver.  Greg is married to Dina, who has a cake decorating company.  They have 2 boys, Nathan who is 10 and Aidan who just turned 6.

Mark is 32, lives in Newton, KS where he graduated from Bethel College.  His wife, Debbie, is a vice president for a local bank. Mark is a sales rep for Envision in Wichita.   Mark has a son, Sam, age 11 and a daughter Julia, age 9.

 Scott lives in Parker, Colorado, and is a admissions counselor for University of Phoenix.  Scott graduated from Beloit College in Beloit, WI.  Scott is married to Holly, an elementary school teacher.  They have a daughter, Aubrey, age 5 and a son Jackson, age 3. 

Jill lives in Westminster, CO.  She attended the University of Northern Colorado and Metro State.  Jill is employed as a purchasing agent for a Mile High Appliance, who supply appliances to home builders.  She is engaged to Nick.  The wedding is June 29, 2008. 

We have included some pictures of our grandchildren, as well as, the other children.  Bandit is the Siberian Husky and Chloe is, well, just say a black lab mix.  They make us walk about 3 miles a day and don't know what we'd do without them.

Sorry to miss everyone this reunion.
